They have this flexibility because your union defined this as not your flying in your Section 1. It did not have to be this way, but remember all the calisthenics your MEC went through to show MidWest flying was not Northwest flying? Remember all that hoopla about the Delta MEC defining Compass off the property and E-170 flying not Delta flying either?
We managers think that was funny - yeah you sure proved it was not your work, but now you whine about not having those jobs.

Doug,
Good one. You managers are always one step in front of us. I know the type - as soon as a new rule/reg comes out, you brainstorm a way around it and then you hire PIT BULL lawyers to enforce it. As long as we keep hiring toy poodles, you managers will always win - turds! Double turds!! (lame caddy shack reference)
